Dean

PROF. MOJISOLA ESEYIN

Mojisola Eseyin, PhD, is a Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law. She is currently, the first and so far, the only female Dean of the prestigious Faculty of Law, University of Uyo.

Prof. Eseyin has been an erstwhile two-terms Vice Dean and Head of the Department of Jurisprudence and International Law, University of Uyo.

An academic of the topmost echelon, Prof. Eseyin has a cognate experience that spans over three decades in the Ivory Tower. Prof. Eseyin's intellectual sagacity and ingenious acumen are evident in her teaching, over the years, Jurisprudence and Legal Theory, Family Law, Law of Intellectual Property, Human Rights as well as International Humanitarian Law, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

She has a deep-seated interest in research and her dexterity, pragmatism and unique pedagogical approach to the impartation of knowledge have been amply brought to bear in her annual Jurisprudence Symposium, where she employs clinical approaches geared at demystifying the time-honoured abstraction that trails the compression and understanding of Jurisprudence as a sphere of study.

Her classes adapt exciting and pragmatic pedagogy in modelling students' learning methods. She is engendering a new phenomenon of a therapeutic approach to Jurisprudence where formal knowledge of law is expressed through the living knowledge of law using roleplays. Prof. Eseyin's YouTube channel prides itself as the only online medium where a person of colour shares content on Jurisprudence.

Her NGO, CHEWORA which was founded in 2002, focuses on women and children's rights with particular attention to the sexual and reproductive rights of women and protection against domestic/gender-based violence. Professor Eseyin is a versatile speaker and presenter at various conferences.

A Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Prof. Eseyin was honoured as the most outstanding lecturer at the University of Uyo by the Students Union Government in the year 2020/2021. Prof. Eseyin has also been the best lecturer of the year in the Faculty of Law in 2019. She also bagged the monthly best lecturer's award twice in previous years. She recently bagged the Students’ Union best dean of the year, 2022 award in the University of Uyo. Several other accolades, awards, plaques and honours adorn Prof. Eseyin's shelves. As an academic worth of nickel,

Prof. Eseyin has no fewer than fifty (50) widely researched publications in both local and international Journals. Her immense contribution to knowledge and intellectualism is also amply exemplified in her authorship of two books namely, Women's Rights in Nigeria, How Protected and Jurisprudence: A Handbook for Students.

She is happily married to Professor O. Eseyin, and their marriage is blessed with promising children.
